Despite coming from a disadvantaged background, Raja always wanted to become a dancer. He worked in various jobs for some time and then realized that his real calling was in dance itself.

Raja Guldhar is a dancer and choreographer. He is also the owner of the King Dance Academy in Indore. He has been working in this field for the past three years.

Talking about his childhood, Raja says that it was a struggle ridden childhood for him. He came from a poor background. His father was an autorickshaw driver, and hence, even after having a keen interest in dance, he could not afford to learn the same. Hence, he worked for six years in different jobs before finally deciding to go into the field of dance.

Raja says that his interest in dance came from his school days itself. There was a dance teacher who recognized Raja's interest in dance and inspired him to come into this field. He gave his first dance performance in eighth grade and garnered much appreciation. This is how his interest in the field strengthened. Later in life, after doing a job for six years, when he decided to pursue dance and started making some money from it, his family also started supporting him.

Talking about his mistakes, Raja says that when he was in the second year of college, he became very careless about life. He soon realized that he was doing something wrong with his life. Even during his job days, he knew that something was not right, and he was just wasting his time there as he was not able to save any money and was not able to utilize his talent in life.

Talking about his role models, Raja says that his father always pushed him, and always asked him to do something in life himself. Also, Yogesh, the dance teacher in his school, was the one who taught him dance, and Raja would always be indebted to him in this regard.

Speaking about his life mantra, Raja says that doing hard work is the only way to achieve success in life. He feels that it might take time, but one day, success will definitely come to you.

Raja says that in order to make a career in dance, one can start by clearing the basics by joining a class in their own locality. He also feels that we should never leave the learning process.

In his free time, Raja likes traveling and also practices meditation as part of his morning routine.
